PUBLIC RELATIONS' LEGISLATURE

I was pleased with your May 20 editorial "Finding time for the tough ones." Your point was very well taken. The Pennsylvania Legislature has become a "do nothing effective" legislative body.

All too often the bills that are passed are meaningless public relations gambits while needed legislation often dies for lack of support.

I commend your criticism of our legislators' "well-entrenched case of myopic priorities." Our elected officials seem to be experts in "public relations" rather than "public representation." This is the price which we are all paying for apathetic voters and TV's "fast news." I commend The Morning Call for being able to find space for the "tough ones."
